Customer Reviews

Excellent, informative, entertaining book

I homeschool my 5yo, and we've had some issues trying to get science education in without spending a fortune. I decided Magic School Bus was a good place to start, and looked into what was available. While the movies are a bit out of our price range to get too many, these books were perfect. This book had a fantastic in depth description of the properties of magnetism, going from domains to poles and magnetite to videotapes. The book itself was easy for my son to read and understand on his own, but we also had fun reading it together. This would be great for casual reading or educational supplement for lower elementary kids. 10 chapters in 76 pages make it easy to break up over several days, though my son and I went through it in about two hours. I definitely recommend this series to anyone who wants to make science fun without spending a fortune!
